2020 is off to a strong start on the literary front.
is set in 1996, back when successful authors enjoyed godlike status, and the young men who dreamed of joining the pantheon had no social media platforms where they could act out their fantasies. The unnamed protagonist of this novel is surrounded by self-regarding professors and students who find no favor with his workshop submissions. The one exception is Billy, a charismatic Midwesterner who sees promise in his classmate’s pages.
Billy sleeps in the basement of the dive bar where he works—until the narrator extends an invitation to live with him in exchange for cleaning and companionship. What follows is an amusing, increasingly uneasy account of an odd couple and their unstable power dynamic as Billy’s star rises, and his host, whose heart is “clamped shut like the shell of a stubborn pistachio,” comes to accept that their bond is not all it’s cracked up to be.
